Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- The United Kingdom government has urged Israeli occupation authorities to cease forced displacement of Palestinian family from its house in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem, saying such practices “only serve to increase tensions on the ground.”
The British Consul General in Jerusalem, Diane Corner, joined on Monday other representatives of the European Union and like minded countries to bear witness to the ongoing forced displacement of the Salhia family, who live and run a business opposite the British Consulate in East Jerusalem.
In a tweet, the British Consulate General in Jerusalem said that “Evictions in Occupied Territory are against international humanitarian law in all but the most exceptional circumstances.”
“The UK urges the Government of Israel to cease such practices which only serve to increase tensions on the ground.” (...)
